redgrandprix Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 my car has a usb and another plug in coming out from under the passenger dash, i hooked my laptop up to it but obviously didn't have the software but my computer regonized it as something hooked up through usb, any ideas on what software it could be?

White93z34 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 pull down the hush panels and follow it back? do you have an aftermarket radio? did the computer identify it as anything specific? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 There name and address should be on the title, might be able to use that info to get a phone number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redgrandprix Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 well the screen hookup goes up into the center console dash area maybe something to do with info center that is no longer there? the usb goes into the firewall torwards the engine bay with a big blob of hot glue or something.

The previous owner probably used an emulator for tuning purposes. http://www.moates.net/ostrich-2-0-the-new-breed.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redgrandprix Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 where would the emulator be located if there is one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo v-sick Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 where would the emulator be located if there is one? Try looking by the pcm for the other end of the usb cable. More than likely the emulator has been removed and the tune has been burned onto the chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redgrandprix Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 i guess, they have it wrapped in like a foam padding and stuffed behind a small overflow tank. kind of a weird spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
